They came to estabish themseves in a paish which fo decades opeated unde the Achdiocese of Austaia in ode to offe potection to the defocked fome Recto of that paish, eotheos Koutessis. As the esponsibe Shephed of this afficted egion I am obiged to eca this detestabe and shamefu annivesay, not ony because it shoud not be consideed that we have "fogotten" o that we have in any way compomised on such a "fait accompi" but aso that we might make a numbe of genea emaks which fo Othodoxy as a whoe ae not at a optimistic. Fisty we must confess that in the past yea not the sightest degee of pogess has been made with egad to the huge pobem ceated though the invasion of Patiach of eusaem on the canonica and soveeign juisdiction of the Ecumenica Patiachate in Austaia. Instead of dispaying an eementay sense of shame foowing a that we denounced in saced fustation (see newspape "VEMA" Athens, 4th and th August 99, and "\hice of Othodoxy", August 99) immediatey a iteay demonic pan was potted by the invades with two basic objectives: a) To dispute, though a means, the canonica juisdiction of the Ecumenica Patiachate ove Austaia, and by extension ove the whoe of Heenism aboad. b) To dispute moe geneay the authoity of the Ecumenica Patiachate as the Potothone Chuch in the entie system of Othodox Chuches, an authoity ecognized by a fom the beginning. They attempt to suppot thei fist objective by audaciousy fabicating the chidish myth that the Chuch of Austaia shoud be consideed as "founded"by the Chuch of eusaem because one of the fist piests who seved hee oiginated fom eusaem. 65

Aso, these ate "schoas of histoy" omit to te us whee the Chuch of eusaem was since 924, when the Geek Othodox Chuch hee was ecognized as a Metopois by a Patiacha and Synodica Tome of the Ecumenica Patiachate. How can it justify the fathehood it caims today? Despite these aughabe assetions which ae aimed suey at those without common sense, the Geek peope of Austaia, duing a this time which has apsed since that shamefu day of the invasion, have witnessed the most disgusting actions of this sinfu entangement of eusaem Koutessis and thei vaious agents, the pupose of which is to enich the cice with any disappointed o schismatic piests and theeby stengthen thei pesence hee. And in this suey desecating and totay anti-patiotic game against Heenism aboad, it was to be expected that a wiing ay woud be found in that section of the Geek media which fom the outset has seen its majo oe ass attacking the Canonica Chuch. As a ewad fo these "God-peasing" activities, Patiach Diodoos of eusaem eevated the two invades - bishop sihios ("stationed" sti in Meboune) to Titua Achbishop of Capitoia, and bishop Timotheos (having etuned to eusaem to continue his diaboica pans fom the position of Chief Secetay) to Titua Achbishop of yda. Yet despite this, fom what infomation is coming to ight each day about the coosive activities of these desecatos, it is painy evident that they wi shoty dissove and disappea. Because it is not possibe fo a conspiatoia peace and stabiity to exist even amongst them o fo those who momentaiy thought that they coud invest in the name eusaem to endue any onge such cynica expoitation and undisguised mockey. It is, thefoe, cetain that independenty of what the Chuch wi finay do to estoe ode to thse ungody insutes of the Hoy Canons, it wi not be ong befoe we see the compete demise, even on a wody eve, of this sinfu aiance with a those mentioned above who instead of offeing a 7enti tay" did not hesitate to detonate the most saced intests of Heenism and Othodoxy. As fo thei second objective, Diodoos of eusaem, taking advantage of the poitico-socia fuidity and the acia tensions eignited by the dissoution of the fome Soviet Union, is attempting to dispute and to coode by evey means possibe on a Pan-Othodox scae the authoity hed by the Ecumenica Patiachate though the centuies and endosed though matydom. To this end he pocaims that eusaem, not Constantinope, is the "Mothe Chuch", without especting o eveing not ony the eevant Hoy Canons by which the Ecumenica Synods defined concusivey the ode of senioity and the appopiate juisdictions of the Ancient Patiachates, but aso the vey histoy of the Othodox Race which veified divesey the esponsibiities and the contibution of each Chuch. So, in his attempt to gain faithfu fom othe Autocephaous Chuches, and to penetate thei canonica boundaies, Diodoos of eusaem engages systematicay in contacts and negotiations, even con ceebations, with ) I

Most infuiating is the fact that, in ode to sanction even fo appeaance-sake these totay iega actions of an Othodox Patiach, without again especting the specific Dogmatic teaching and Canon aw of the Chuch - which ae common knowedge even to fist-yea students of theoogy - he hastens to obtain fo wheneve needed the "opinion" of vaious Univesity Pofessos in ode to acquie pio amnesty fo his atocities. Howeve, one might we ask: Since when, fo the Othodox Chuch, does a pofesso's eputation hod such absoute authoity as it woud ony in Potestantism? Since when does a "pofesso~ a ayman, and often not even a theoogian, have vaidity ove the opinion of the Hieachy of the Chuch which is "the iving voice of the Apostes? At a time when a the Autocephaous Othodox Chuches, fom the outset and unceasingy ti today, have condemned and efuse to have sacamenta communion with the Od Caendaists, the so-caed "Genuine Othodox Chistians", then just who is Pofesso Spyidon Toianos who expounds opinions on behaf of eusaem caiming "Apostoic Succession" fo the schismatic goup of Auxentios, suey not out of an unbiased concen fo academic eseach but at the equest of his cient? Is "Apostoic Succession" a measue of "wody" ode and not of the "sacamenta", wheeby one assumes the ight to isoate it in a egaistic manne and exhaust it by bae citeia, just as the State Counci might empoy in the case of any wody ega tansaction? Did not Pof. Toianos eve hea of o ead in the texts of the Fathes and the Synods about the eation of heesy and schism - mattes which ae suey not uneated to Eccesiastica and Byzantine aw? And so much fo him. What opinion do the hieachs of the Zionist Chuch and a those who suppot this downhi movement have about these unpecedented monstosities? Is this the tadition of the Hoy ands of which they caim to be the guadians? If one takes into consideation the most audacious comments of the indescibabe Isihios of Capitoia in Meboune ecenty, as we.as those of his own Patiach in a teephone inteview, one woud have to admit that impudence has no imits when even the sightest fea of God ceases to exist. It is, howeve, time that we became seious, paticuay duing these tying times that we ae facing as a Nation and as a Chuch, because these phenomena ae not simpy signs of wetchedness but exampes of astonishing decay and ieveence, amounting to basphemy against the Hoy Spiit_ And as the indiputabe mouth of ou od confimed this is the ony sin "which wi not be fogiven " (Matthe~ 2:3).

4 ~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~,~~~~~~~~~**~~**~~~~~************~ THEOOGY AND MYSTERY OF THE ICON This bief pape is to be ead aongside the ecenty pubished theoogica eview Phonema (vo. 4, 989) of St. Andew's Geek Othodox Theoogica Coege, Sydney. The icon is an intega pat of Othodox woship and spiituaity, a centa aspect of ceebations. It constitutes a way of knowing God and of being united with God. The entie Chuch - with its achitectue, fescoes and mosaics - epesents in space what the itugy epesents in time: the anticipation of the heaveny Kingdom, the paticipation in the divine pesence. In Othodox ceebation, wod and image ae insepaabe. We must disengage ouseves fom the notion of wod as being pimaiy o soey veba. Befoe the Incanation, the "icon" is impossibe, but the Bibe is fu of visions and images. Indeed, the wod can ony suggest the advent and action of the iving God though symbos and signs. Fom the Od Testament, then, the wod of God is fu of the notion of the "icon". The wod beas within itsef the icon which is in its funess eveaed to the wod with the bith of esus Chist. Thus the pohibition of Exodus (20:4) and Deuteonomy (5:2.0) constitutes an "apophatic" pefiguation of the Incanation - it dispes idos in expectation of the Image. In contast with othe suounding civiisations which emphasise the visua, the Covenant peope adicay eject any "gaven images" as epesentative of God. This is utimatey a efusa to identify God with an imaginay pojection of the individua. Key motives in the Bibe ae the face and the name, fo humanity was ceated "in the image and ikeness of God". These themes, as we as the goy of God -that is, his uminous pesence - ae fuy manifested in the vey Wod and Image of God, esus Chist. The antinomy of the inaccessibe God and of the cucified Chist constitutes the utimate measue of measueess ove. In esus Chist, God assumes a human face, the image of the suffeing sevant who has no beauty (d. Is_ 53:2) and yet whose beauty saves the wod_ Nothing endes the mystey of ife moe sensibe than a human face, which announces an infinite tanscendence and a pofound pesence. The human face embaces both the eve of feedom and the anguish of finitude, the each fo the infinite and the ensavement to the finite. And the icon eveas a tensions, conficts and contadictions though which one is caed to tanspaence and communion. Evey fa and esuection is inscibed on it. This is why outside the incanation of Chist, death aone has the fina wod. Yet to encounte Chist in the icon is to encounte an image beyond suffeing, soitude and he, an image that wi neve die_ So the basis of the icon is Chistoogica, aowing the whoy inaccessibe to be shaed entiey. With the event of TEAEUOia we; "E8voc; Kai 'EKKA'oia, Y'OTi Ta (t>o!v6~evo aina 5Ev avo!

God's feedom and imitess ove beak down a baies and beak though a imitations. The God who ceated out of ove, who was incanate out of ove, now satuates the whoe wod with divine enegies. "God became human that humanity might be deified"wote the Chuch Fathes. And the Saints ae those who emanate the ight of deified humanity, whie the icons indicate the paticipation of humanity and the entie ceated wod in divine ife and ight. As a esut, faces of saints in icons ae aways fonta, "a eyes"(macaius of Egypt), namey tanspaent, eceptive of divine enegy. Pofie signifies absence, and theefoe sin. I see someone means I am seen, and theefoe I am in communion. In what is visibe, I expeience the invisibe. So the icon constitutes a means of communion wheein I accompish an act of "pascha"(passove, passing ove). It eads though the visibe Chist to the invisibe divinity, though the chaism of the saint to the gace of the Spiit. It suggests one's tue image, the image that God ceated and which one is caed to eaise. The at of iconogaphy, then, exacts objectivity and communion, since it expesses the objective eaity of the divine image, and not some individua imagination of fantasy. This is why Othodox tadition aso equies paye and asceticism fom the iconogaphe. Pide and pejudice on behaf of the atist must by submitted to contempation. The vey mateia fom which icons ae made (wood, paint and egg yok - theefoe both minea and oganic matte) is not meey passive but has aeady been sanctified though the incanation and endeed dynamic. Eveything is fied with peace and ight - cothing is iumined; animas, pants and ocks assume a paadisiac fom. The uminous goy of God (Rev_ 2:23) is eveywhee - indeed the pespective of the Kingdom is what gives meaning and tuth to the pesent eaity. Thus the pespective is often invesed, because one peceives with "the eye of the heat". The vaue of icon is not simpy paedagogica o aesthetic, but pimaiy mystica o "sacamenta~ It supasses any opposition between this wod and the next, but athe unites the two in an act of communion. It aso tanscends any opposition between figuative o non-figuative at, but appeas athe as tansfiguative. The icon poposes anothe means of communication -beyond the conceptua, witten o spoken wod. It is a witing out (that is why the at is caed "iconogaphy) of what cannot be witten in theoogy. The fina book of the Bibe is Reveation. And eveation impies eveation of faces; it impies the cetainty that humanity is caed to Decome God" and to become an icon. Rev.

ST. NICHOAS CABASIAS ON THE ANNUNCIATION SI. Nichoas Cabasias (o Chamaetos) was bom in Thessainika aound 320, a membe of an aistocatic famiy. He attained biiant cassica and phiosophica studies, and became a fevent suppote of the Hesychast movement. He is the autho of vey significant itugica woks (The ife in Chist and Commentay on the Divine itugy), as we as of othe smae teatises, one of which we ae pinting beow in an Engish tansation by Ms Aexanda Shead. I f thee exists an occasion fo man to ejoice, to exut and sing with gadness, a time that cas fo the geatest and most goious utteance, that ouses in man a desie fo the most soaing thought, the finest expessions and the most vivid eoquence with which to ceebate its spendous, then I cannot conceive that it coud be othe than this day, the day on which an Ange came to eath fom heaven beaing the sum of a goodness. Today heaven is magnified. Today the eath is exutant. Today the whoe of ceation ejoices. Even He who hods heaven in His hands takes pat in this feas.t, fo what happens today constitutes a tuy festa occasion. A come togethe in the same joy, a singe exutation fis eveyone: the Ceato, a ceated beings, and the mothe Hesef of the Ceato, who, by extending to Him ou human natue, made Him a paticipant in ou joyous assembies and festivas. The Ceato ejoices above a othes; fo He is a benefacto, and fom the beginning of ceation His task has been beneficence. He has neve been in need of anything, and knows ony how to give and to be bountifu. Yet today, without ceasing fom His wok of savation, He takes the second pace and stands among the beneficiaies. And He ejoices not so much in the geat gifts He has bestowed on ceation and which testify to His munificence, as in the sma gifts which He has eceived fom those who have benefited, fo this is evidence that He oves mankind. He consides Himsef goified not ony by the things that He has given to His poo sevants, but aso by what the poo have given to Him. Fo athough He chose to abase Himse~ (kenosis) in pefeence to divine goy, and accepted the gift we made Him of ou human povety, nevetheess His weath emained with Him unateed, conveting ou gift to Him into an adonment and a kingdom. Fo the ceated wod ikewise - by which I mean not ony the wod we see but aso the wod which is beyond human vision - what coud be geate cause fo ejoicing than to see its Ceato enteing into it, and the od of a take His pace among His sevants? And this He does not by stipping Himsef of His authoity as maste, but by taking the sevant into Himsef; not by discading His weath, but extending it to the poo; not by faing fom His own height, but aising up the humbe. But the Vigin aso ejoices, who is the cause that a these gifts wee given to mankind. She ejoices fo five easons, 69

But she aso ejoices because the gifts wee given to He eaie and moe abundanty than to the othes, and sti moe because She is the cause wheeby these gifts wee given to a. Howeve, the fifth and most significant eason fo the Vigin's ejoicing is that it was not ony God, though He, but she Hesef as we, though what she knew and foesaw, who bought the esuection to mankind. 2. Fo the Vigin is not ike the eath, which, athough it contibuted towads the ceation of man, did not itsef activey do anything: it was utiized by the Ceato simpy as a mateia, and "became" something without paying an active oe. The Vigin, on the othe hand, eaised within Hesef and offeed up to God a the things which attacted the Make to the eath and stimuated the ceative hand. What wee these things? An immacuate existence, a competey pue ife, the epudiation of a evi, the pactice of a the vitues, a sou ceae than the ight, a body whoy spiitua, bighte than the sun, ceae than the heavens, moe hoy than the thones of the cheubim. The fight of a mind which feas no height, which tanscends even the wings of the Anges. Divine ove, absobing and assimiating a the othe desies of the sou. God's possession, union with God, inconceivabe to human thought. Having in this way adoned both he body and he sou with such beauty, God's gaze was dawn to He. Though He own oveiness she made manifest the oveiness of ou common hwnan natue, and won the heat of Him who has no passions. Though the Vigin, He who though sin was hated by men, became Himsef a man. 3. Fo the Vigin, the "dividing wa of hostiity" and the "baie" wee not opeative: whee she was concened, eveything that divided the hwnan ace fom God had been aboished. Thus, even befoe the univesa econciiation took pace, pefect peace had been estabished between God and the Vigin. What is moe, she neve needed to make teaties of peace and aiance, because fom the vey beginning she was the eade in the dance of fiendship. Those wee a enacted fo the est of humankind. And pio to the Paacete, she was, to quote Pau, "one who maketh intecession fo us to the od". not with He hands upaised, but with He ife itsef upaised in paye to Him, fo mankinds' sake. So it happened that the vitue pesent in one sou sufficed to put an end to the evi of them thoughout the ages. The Vigin may be ikened to the Ak which saved man at the time of the genea destuction of the wod: it did not itsef have any pat in the disastes that befe, and it peseved the possibiity fo the hwnan ace to continue. Thus the Vigin kept He thoughts as unsuied and hoy as though no one had eve daed to commit a sin on eath, as though peope wee a as steadfast as they ought to be, as though they a sti ived in Paadise. Indeed, she had no sense of the evi which ovewhemed the eath. The food of sin which spead eveywhee, which seaed off Heaven and opened up He, which set men at wa with God, which dove out Good fom the eath and epaced it with Evi, had no powe to affect the bessed Vigin in the sightest. On the contay: athough it eigned supeme in the univese, athough it shook and convused and demoished eveything, yet it was conqueed by a singe thought, by a singe sou. And it was

' Evw YO v6 npoxwpnot OTn not simpy that the Vigin conqueed sin, but that though He it depated fom the entie human ace. This was the Vigin's contibution to the wok of savation, befoe the day on which God, in accodance with His etena pan, incined the heavens and came down to eath. Fom the moment of He bith she was occupied in constucting a dweing fo Him who woud save mankind; she stove to make the od's dweing, He own sef, beautifu, so as to be wothy of Him. And thus the king had no faut to find with the paace. Futhemoe, the Vigin did not meey pesent Him with a oya dweing that was wothy of His exceence; she aso made eady fo Him, of He own sef, the oya pupe and the gide and, as David says, the "majesty", the "stength" and the "kingdom" itsef. She can be ikened to a goious city which, supassing a othes in size and in beauty, in its high moa standads and in the numbe of its inhabitanfs, in weath and in a types of powe, is not imited simpy to eceiving and sheteing the king, but becomes his seat of govenment and constitutes his soveeignty and his honou, his stength and his amouy. Simiay, by eceiving God in to Hesef and giving Him He fesh, the Vigin caused God to become pesent in the wod, binging on His foes unassaiabe disaste and to His fiends savation and the souce of a good things. 4. In this way she bestowed bessings on the human ace befoe the time of its univesa deiveance. But when the moment aived and the heaveny messenge appeaed, she once moe payed an active pat in this deiveance by beieving in what he tod He and ageeing to pefom the sevice that God equied of He. He beief and ageement wee essentiay and absoutey necessay fo ou savation; and if the Vigin had not maintained this position thee woud have been no hope eft fo mankind. Of couse, as I said above, it woud have been impossibe fo God to ook with favou on the human ace and to want to come down to eath, if the Vigin had not been in a state of pepaedness - if, that is, thee had been no one to eceive Him and to seve the cause of savation. ikewise, God's desie fo ou savation coud not possiby have been eaized is the Vigin had not beieved in it and ageed to pomote it. This is evident fom the fact that Gabie, in geeting He with the wod "Hai" and naming He "fu of gace", accompished his mission and eveaed the mystey in its entiety. Nevetheess, as ong as the Vigin sought to discove the way in which the pegnancy was to come about, God did not descend; wheeas the moment she was pesuaded and accepted the poposa, the wok was immediatey and fuy accompished: God cothed Himsef in manhood, and the Vigin became the mothe of the Ceato. Yet thee is something even moe wondefu than this. God did not et Adam know in advance, no did He pesuade him to give Him the ib out of which Eve was to be ceated. He put him to seep and, having depived him of his senses, He took the ib out of his side. In poceeding to ceate the New Adam, on the othe hand, He gave knowedge of His intention to the Vigin and awaited He faith and acceptance. In ceating Adam He took counse with His ony-begotten Son, saying: "et us make man". But when He needed to "induct the fistbegotten" - that "wondefu counseo" - "into the wod", to quote Pau, and to ceate the second Adam, He incuded the Vigin in that decision as His associate. In 7

Fo just as the decision egading the incanation of the ogos coud not have existed and been impaied to mankind without the initiative taken by God, so the fufiment of the divine wi woud have been impossiie of the Most Pue Vigin had not in.vested it with He own consent and faith. 5. So, having guided and pesuaded He in this fashion, God went on to make He His mothe. He thus boowed fesh fom someone who both wished to end it and knew the eason fo doing so. The same had to happen in the case of the Vigin as in the case of God: just as He desied to be H conceived", she had to bea Him in He womb and become a mothe not out of necessity but with a He own fee wi Futhemoe - and fa moe impotanty - she had to contibute to the economy of savation not simpy as a passive agent, as something used fo the pupose, but by giving Hesef of Hesef and becoming God's associate in His cae fo the human ace, so that she shaed and paticipated togethe with Him in the goy aising out of thei ove fo mankind_ Again, since the Saviou was a man and the son of man not just in the fesh, but possessed a sou and a mind and a wi and evey human attibute, He had aso to have a pefect mothe, who woud bing to His bith the sevice not just of He bodiy natue but of He mind and He wi and a He being: who woud be a mothe both accoding to the fesh and accoding to the spiit, so that humanity in the fuest sense woud be pesent at the pepexing bith. This is the eason why the Vigin, befoe pacing Hesef at the sevice of the divine mystey, eaned, beieved, wished and payed fo its fufiment; besides which, God wanted theeby to show the extent of the Vigin's vituousness. That is to say, He wanted to show how geat He faith was and how eevated He mind, the integity of He thought and the geatness of He sou, a of which wee evident fom the fact that she accepted and beieved the Ange's incedibe wods: that God woud eay and tuy come to eath and invove Himsef pesonay in ou savation, and that she woud be abe to be of sevice and pay an active pat in this wok Thus, the fact that she asked at fist fo an expanation and was pesuaded is cea evidence that she knew Hesef vey we indeed, and coud conceive of nothing that was moe wothy of He desie. Moeove, the fact that God wished to demonstate He vituousness is stong poof that the Vigin was we awae of the geatness of the divine goodness and ove fo mankind. And it seems to me that this is pecisey the eason why she was not initiated diecty by God Himsef: that is, in ode that it might be fuy eveaed that the faith which bought He into such cose poximity to God was an expession of He own fee wi, and that eveything shoud not be egaded as esuting fom God's pesuasive powe. Because, just as those of the faithfu who have not seen and yet beieve ae moe bessed than those who insist on visua evidence, those who beieve in the messages sent fom God though His sevants ae wise than those who need to be convinced by Him in peson.
